It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more manhood (or womanhood) to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind.
-Alex Karras-

I really resonated with this quote, I think relationships are proving to show me the most this year about growing up and becoming the woman I most want to be. People really do make the difference and shape you and work on you as iron against iron, it's hard but I really need it.

"Sometimes, Lord, one is tempted to say that if you wanted us to behave like the lilies of the field you might have given us an organization more like theirs. But that, I suppose, is just your grand experiment. Or no; not an experiment, for you have no need to find things out. Rather your grand enterprise. To make an organism which is also a spirit; to make that terrible oxymoron, a 'spiritual animal.' To take a poor primate, a beast with nerve-endings all over it, a creature with a stomach that wants to be filled, a breeding animal that wants it mate, and say, 'Now get on with it. Become a god.' "

C.S. Lewis, quoted from A Grief Observed
